Any chance of extending the thread title to more than 100 letters?

As news reports are starting to have longer and longer article titles, the current thread title max size is no longer applicable to them. Usually, with larger articles abound, it would be easier to tell the readers a short, concise description in the thread title, in order for readers to get a sense of what the article itself is telling them about.

I would like to propose that the max size of the thread title be extended to 140 letters or 150 letters for a nicer ring to a multiple of 5. That way, a shortened phrase can then be fitted into the thread title without having the meanings jumbled up and confusing some of the readers.

Thanks in advance.

I vote for a 128 letter title to keep everything standardized.

Where was the 128-letter standard implemented in? I thought these values are just picked out by their accordances.

Why not chop of a bit of the article? Well, mostly shorter is better.

Varine, 128 is not a standard at all. That would be 7 bits, who is using 7 bits man???
Thats a horrible number!

Sorry to disappoint, but I rather go for something that's akin to Twitter's 140 characters limit.

That's because you're an unoriginal D-bag. All you do is post stuff other people already published.

I can't help but imagine you as Caboose. I mean, your avatar is blue, you are both just so dumb in an oddly enjoyable way, and are just an enigma of existence that we don't understand.

Where do you think Romek got it from? :) We all got them when SD_Ryoko redid the logo - I stole this one from Romek though...

Whenever I post a news thread that has a long title I tend to just chop up the title. No news title should be more than 100 characters.

Wing it imo!

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
